Rockets’ Scout Living The Game

Almost 20 years ago, when the Rockets franchise moved to Kelowna, longtime Saskatchewan hockey man Graham Tuer found himself unattached to a Western Hockey League team.

He had been associated with the WHL, helping to build the Regina Pats organization (his name hangs in the rafters in Regina’s arena) as the team’s head scout and assistant general manager.

But Tuer had decided to leave the organization and focus on his other duties, some of which included working with the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League, the Saskatchewan Development Model or with NHL Central Scouting.
